Many have asked me about the sugar flowers that I used on the lemon meringue cupcakes. I can tell that the flowers are called frangipani. A very “simple” flower to make as you use 5 petals in the same size. Frangipanis is often in the color combinations white/yellow or pink/yellow.
So while I was browsing for suppliers for the cutters I found this cool Frangipani tutorial online. It is with photos and is well explained. I hope that you will enjoy it and that it will help you make beautiful frangipani flowers for you cakes and cupcakes.
You can buy frangipani cutters here:
Earls Craft ‘N’ Cake
International Sugar Art Collection
Note: If you know other suppliers who have frangipani cutters please let me know and I will add them here. Thanks!
Happy Caking

Hi! I love the simple look of these flowers! But the chalk you talk about…is it “actual chalk” or more like dusting powders?
Thanks for all fun editorials, they’re always a huge help!

This is a random question but when you are making the flowers…do you ever think…GEE this is so tedious?! I have started doing fondant flowers and the like and while I love the outcome of them, they take some doing…and some time of course and then I hesitate to use them because I put so much work into them. Is that just me?!

Wow it so great to see that many of you love that tutorial too:-)
First thank you Shara for the link to another supplier.
For the question about MMF and Tylose powder. You can add Tylose to your MMF no problem with that. If you dont add it to your fondant/MMF it will be to soft to work with when making flowers and modelling.
Thank you Barbara.
It look like your comments work now:-)
